What You’ll Hear (and don’t want to miss!)
1:17: Jenny and I introduce this week’s podcast which was recorded a few weeks ago for The Improvement Project (the Scottish version with Sean and Dave)
1:48: The beginning of Sean and Dave’s podcast where we start chatting with them.
6:20: Sean introduces the idea that today’s episode is about Motivation
11:44: After a bunch of tangents, Sean reads the question from their listener Leanne. She asks: “I have found that I am very motivated in the evening, rather than during the day. When the day calms down from work etc, I find I can get much more done, and am inspired to do as much as possible. However, my motivation seems lower when I need it the most. Any tips on how to switch this around?” Jenny and I offer some advice on how we would handle this challenge and then we all discuss.
28:17: After offering some high level answers, we discuss that perhaps the easiest answer to Leanne’s motivation challenge is work when she has good high energy.
32:48: Jenny enlightens us on the levels of appropriation of taking others’ ideas.
33:33: Sean wraps it up and we decide to roll over our conversation to a part 2
34:21: Jenny and I wrap it up and give you a sneak peek into what we will be talking about next week
